You need a "special" tool to hold the clutch backet in place while you remove the nut.

I made a tool out of one of the plates that I wasn't going to use again.

I don't have a pic but it is fairly easy to build one.  I have also used a strap type oil filter wrench before but if you are going to keep the bike I would make one up.

You have to hold the inner hub so that you can remove the nut.

1. I've seen it done with a pair of special vice-grips that are for welding (I think). They ARE NOT "Clamped Down" on the hub. They have these long fingers (Kinda like a spanner set) that allow you to CAREFULLY hold the hub via the cogs...once again...NOT BY CLAMPING; But, by "Holding" the hub by it's teeth...kinda like circlip pliars are used on your countershaft sprocket retainer...but "Reversed" in application...(Expand v. Contract).

2. Take one of the steel/al. plates and make a holding tool by welding/bolting/rivetting on a handle.

3. Stuff a bunch of rags between the inner/outer hubs and use an air-wrench...again...CAREFULLY!

I've seen all of these methods done...of-course, the aforementioned "Special Tool" is great. Especially if you find one! :oops:

A picture Of the "special tool" as mentioned by Husqvarna, is in this .pdf document and I will scan a pic of the "special tool" mentioned in the factory KX500 manual and post it tomorrow if need be.  

Those "special tools" must be more common than I thought. Huh! :oops:

Kawasaki part no. for that tool is 57001-1243. Cheaper and quicker to make one out of a couple of metal clutch plates by attaching a handle as stated in the above messages.
